if the bonuses were in the bill then no they shouldn't have to give it back. congress should have made provisions for the money to NOT go to bonuses. congress handed over the tax payers money.....then gets outraged because they couldn't bother to read the bill over carefully???? how about cut those that approved the bill to get cut in salary to help pay back into the system. they did....not us so they should have to pay


The money AIG used for the bonuses came from TARP.
Obama wasn't President and Geitner wasn't the Treasury Secretary at that time.

Bush and Paulson wanted a bill with no accountability requirements in it. What little accountability it did involve was done by Congress. Granted it wasn't monitored good enough but Bush and Paulson wanted a bill free of any accountability at all. Coincidence?
